My dad, after telling him not to, washed my b\Banshee cup in the dishwasher. My local park is Cedar Point so I didn't want the stupid Pipe Scream cup. Now my cup is in a weird shape that is the farthest thing from a cylinder. I heard that you can exchange your cup for a new one but without the free refills. Is this true? I didn't know what category to put this under so I just did Kings Island.

GCI has said that they can do inversions so i hope if they got the call, they would use them so it would be a first

I was in the station when that happened. He had a whole party cut the line to board the train with him. It was weird

my apologies for my lack of correct information
^ RMC played some part in its construction. Before they did coasters, Rocky Mountain Construction did... well, construction. El Toro is an Intamin ride through and through.

No, El Toro doesn't. El Toro has Intamin's prefabricated wood track.
eltoro has topper trackYeah. I doubt this means anything at all.
On a side note, I don't really understand why everybody seems to want their home park to install one of these new RMC doohickeys. To me, it just seems blasphemous to modify wooden roller coasters into these weird hybrids. I sincerely hope the whole thing is just a fad.
And don't get me started on how apparently the classification of these coasters is based not on the obvious fact that they're hybrids but instead on a certain chain's desire to have record breaking "wooden" coasters.EDIT: Upon further research, there is in fact a difference between RMC's Topper Track and I-Box Track, which I thought were synonymous terms. That being said, I still think Topper Tracked coasters should be considered some degree of hybrids.
umb. why does RMC have it on their website http://www.rockymtnconstruction.com/roller-coasters.php

Still a gimmick..
But I doubt you'll see RMC in the parks anytime soon. After Intamin issues, and RMC issues, I doubt you will see the park go with either of them. They are in the mood of high safety and reliability lately. Look at the slew of B&M's to hit the parks as of late, and look at the ideas they state behind them.
So a gci which i stated originally

What does it matter what type of ride it is as long as it produces the thrills?
exactly. RMC coasters are cheaper and can be better than steel.

Plus most of the stuff that he and the other guy Tweet end up being BS. I don't even follow them anymore for that reason.
I only follow him for the tweet-ups

The page does not exist.
That is why I edited it

Tony Clark - Cedar Point's director of communications, tweeted today a stack of new wood planks. Is this a teaser for the demolition of mean streak and the introduction of a gci or even a rmc woody. I know that Cedar Fair has never worked with rmc, but Cedar Point has been the first for many things that are not normal like Millennium Force. That was Cedar Fair's first big coaster with Intamin.
EDIT: That was a bad link. Here is a working link pic.twitter.com/PQ8zCLWoRq

The Beast is a low to ground custom coaster with a ton of room. If Kings Island wanted to keep the record for longest woodie, they could simply add a couple more turns because of all the room they have to work with

It doesnt i have a Cedar Point dining plan and they rejected it at ki

he has a lot of themes, i have seen him do that one and "ARE YOU READY SPARTANS. PREPARE FOR GLORY" and some other stuff that was funny. This was about a year but it was hilarious. It was early ride time so i wasn't in line that long but i rode it 3 more times just to hear him lolA spiel versus a genuine interaction are two different things. I rode TTD ad the ride op was genuinely talking to guests and asked about first riders, etc. not only that but told the rules of the ride. At CP on the same day rode one of the steel coasters and the spiel and shtick got real old real fast.

Completely agree, you can always tell if someone is just doing something over and over again, and it can get annoying if they are doing the same thing over and over again. That video that purdude posted I would of probably complained to guest relations because he was being obnoxious, I haven't witnessed anything like that but it's also been a while since I've been able to ride the big coasters because my daughter is still 4. The ride operators in Planet Snoopy and Coney Mall seem to be either very friendly and nice to you or completely business like. I prefer friendly, but will take the business as well. But obnoxious and boisterous trying to be the main attraction, I will not, apply for "The Boys Are Back" if you want to be the entertainment.

I went to Cedar Point yesterday and there was a walk on everywhere. Early ride time had longer lines than at 1. I was confused on why the dragster line wasnt getting any bigger after my third ride in a row. I got 4 millenniums 3 dragsters 2 Gatekeepers and 1 of every other coaster except maverick due to mechanical problems. I left at 230 because of how tired i was from riding everything

Millenium force has no mcbr and the only time it stacks is if a large man is trying to fit or a girl purged
